This sign-off of Nevada's first and oldest
TV station is of the "drive-by" variety, a
15-second announcement saying, in essence, "we're
outta here, good night!". The SSB video which
follows is more interesting, for it's a celebration of
the state of Nevada, past and present. The first half of
the SSB features images of Nevada's history in a manner
similar to the "Flag
Evolution" SSB used in this 1989 WRAL-TV (Raleigh
NC) sign-off. The second half is a video montage of
Nevada's most noted places of interest as they appeared
in the early 1990s. Is this legendary country music
pianist Floyd Cramer playing the SSB in this clip? It's
definitely performed in Cramer's style. KLAS-TV 8 is the
Las Vegas market's CBS-TV network affiliate.
